Comparative Genomics of a Parthenogenesis-Inducing Wolbachia Symbiont. [PDF]
, 2016 Wolbachia is an intracellular symbiont of invertebrates responsible for inducing a wide variety of phenotypes in its host. These host-Wolbachia relationships span the continuum from reproductive parasitism to obligate mutualism, and provide a unique ...

Aging Cell, Volume 25, Issue 2, February 2026.Insulin signalling extends lifespan across species but, in Drosophila, this effect can vary among populations. This variable response is underpinned by epistasis between mtDNA and nDNA. ABSTRACT The changing demography of human populations has motivated a search for interventions that promote healthy ageing, and especially for evolutionarily‐conserved ...

Parasites & Vectors, 2020 Background Wolbachia are intracellular bacterial endosymbionts found in most insect lineages. In mosquitoes, the influence of these endosymbionts on host reproduction and arboviral transmission has spurred numerous studies aimed at using Wolbachia ...

Evolutionary history of Wolbachia infections in the fire ant Solenopsis invicta [PDF]
, 2005 BACKGROUND: Wolbachia are endosymbiotic bacteria that commonly infect numerous arthropods. Despite their broad taxonomic distribution, the transmission patterns of these bacteria within and among host species are not well understood.

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 5, 27 January 2026.Rice gall dwarf virus (RGDV), transmitted biparentally by leafhopper vector to their offspring, exploits the capsid protein to induce inheritable ovarian apoptosis via insulin‐driven PI3K/AKT/FoxO signaling axis. This mechanism enhances infection but reduces female reproductive fitness, causing inefficient maternal transmission.

Vertical Transmission of Wolbachia Is Associated With Host Vitellogenin in Laodelphax striatellus
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018 Wolbachia in host germ lines are essential for their vertical transmission to the next generation. It is unclear how the regulation of host oocyte development influences Wolbachia location and the mechanistic basis of transmission.

Pervasive Effects of
mBio, 2020 Heritable symbionts can modify a range of ecologically important host traits, including behavior. About half of all insect species are infected with maternally transmitted Wolbachia, a bacterial endosymbiont known to alter host reproduction, nutrient ...

Modeling the transmission of Wolbachia in mosquitoes for controlling mosquito-borne diseases
, 2017 We develop and analyze an ordinary differential equation model to assess the potential effectiveness of infecting mosquitoes with the Wolbachia bacteria to control the ongoing mosquito-borne epidemics, such as dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika ...

Genomic analysis of Plebejus Kluk (Lycaenidae: Polyommatinae) clarifies taxonomy within Europe
Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 1, January‐March 2026.The first genomic analysis for the genus Plebejus in Europe is presented, based on ddRAD sequencing data comprising all European Plebejus plus some Asian and North American taxa. Plebejus idas is recovered as paraphyletic, Plebejus corsicus as a subspecies of Plebejus argus and Plebejus villai as a population of Plebejus bellieri, totalling 4 species ...

Phylogenomics and analysis of shared genes suggest a single transition to mutualism in Wolbachia of nematodes [PDF]
, 2013 Wolbachia, endosymbiotic bacteria of the order Rickettsiales, are widespread in arthropods but also present in nematodes. In arthropods, A and B supergroup Wolbachia are generally associated with distortion of host reproduction.
